Accessibility Barrier Reporting
We encourage you to share any concerns or challenges you, your family, or friends may have encountered within our community relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Whether it pertains to accessibility issues, such as difficulties entering a facility with a wheelchair or discrimination due to a disability, you can help us by reporting any building or public space that you believe may not meet local accessibility standards.
At Independent Living, Inc., we are committed to advocacy and are eager to investigate these matters further. Our goal is to work collaboratively with the relevant locations to address any potential ADA violations.
